Geteilt; oben in Blau ein silbernes Andreaskreuz, unten in zwei Reihen Eisenhutfeh von Rot und Gold.

Origin/meaning

The arms show in the upper half the St. Andrew's cross, as St. Andrew is the local patron saint. The lower half shows the arms of the Princes Von Oettingen, to whom the village historically belonged.
